“Wake Up Idiot!”
Opening my eyes to a sharp masculine voice, I find myself in a small dark room. While I could make out some object, everything was fuzzy, so I couldn’t put a name on any of them. I wanted to just sit there and wait for everything to become clear, but that would never happen as the right side of my head suddenly received a wave of pain, as if something was growing inside.
Grabbing the right side of my head with both hands, thinking it would do something, but as the pain increased, my nails started to dig into my head causing more pain. The pain from my head never subsided, it just kept growing, spreading itself all over my head, never slowing down or stopping.
Finally, after what felt like hours, the pain started to ease up, going from getting burned alive, to a very painful headache. After the pain was fully gone, I opened my eyes once again, now fully awake, without a hint of being drowsy.
Sitting straight up, I took note of everything around me. I was in a small black room, with a small metal table and chair in the corner which looked crappy. Something that looked like a jar on top of a metal door, and adding to that, the object I was leaning on also looked like a jar, just at an angle. “I think...I came out of...that angled jar.” Well, that’s weird, my throat is dry like I’ve never used it.
Deciding that there was nothing here that could entertain me, I grabbed a pole looking thing that was holding up the angle jar, hoisting myself up.
Now, on my two shaking legs, I decided to take my first step in this new world… “How...do I walk?”
Well, it can’t be that hard, so maybe I just need to move my arms first, but which arm do I move? After doing nothing but swinging my arms around for five minutes, I didn’t move anywhere, but now my arms hurt. “So, if I swing my arms too...much, they start to hurt. Good to...know.”
But, I need to move, and moving my arms didn’t do anything, so maybe my legs. Putting strength into my legs, I tried to lift one of them, and as soon as I did, something happens to my body. I was shaking, but not like my legs were, I was shaking up and down, almost like I was going to fall. I didn’t know what to do, was this natural, what’s going on?
I didn’t know if this was natural or not, so I just gave up control over my body, and as soon as I did that, I fell straight onto my back, hitting my head on the hard floor, causing pain that was similar to that headache, but not as bad. “What happened?”
[Answer: Due to poor motor skills, and your muscles not being used for an extended period of time, you lost your balance. Resulting in you falling down]
“Oh, I understood none of that. But since you seem to know why I fell, could you tell me how to not fall.” It seems that I can now speak clearly, but my throat is still pretty sore causing my voice to be strained. Also, where did this male voice come from?
[Answer: While on one leg, you can try a T-pose for balance. And if you still start to fall, try stretching your arms in the opposite direction to help pick yourself up]
“Yeah, I still don’t get it. Anyways, who are you, or better yet, where are you?”
[Answer: My apologies, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. I am D-2051813914112]
“Okay, but that doesn’t answer my second question.”
As soon as I said that, two screens appeared in front of my right eye, “AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH”
Using my left hand, I tried to slap it away from me, but when I tried to do that, my hand went right through, and in the next instant my hand landed on my face, making a loud sound. “What?”
[Answer:]
“BEFORE YOU TALK, YOU BETTER USE WORDS I CAN UNDERSTAND,” still with my left hand over my face, I yelled at the thing in front of me, wondering how I can see the screen even with my left hand over my right eye.
…[Answer: I am a computer that was put into your brain to help you survive in this world. That pain you felt before was me connecting myself to your brain. You are the only person who can see me, and I can help you develop your Ability once it appears.”
“Okay, I understand some of that, but my ability, what’s that.”
[Answer: An ability is attained when the… Abilities are essentially superpowers]
“What are superpowers?”
…[Answer: They let you become strong]

“Ohhhhhh, that’s cool. So, when do I get mine?”
[Answer: 30min-1 hour… I mean,]
“I understand the numbers. God, I’m not that dumb.”
[Noted]
“Alright, now for the real question, how do I walk because I’m getting tired of being in here?”
[Answer: First stand up. You do this by lifting your upper body. You do this by putting your arm in front of you and try pulling yourself up with them]
“Okay” Doing exactly what the voice told me, I put my arms in front of me, and tried pulling myself up with them. It was way harder than I thought, I felt like my stomach was about to be ripped in half. Still, I powered through it, finally sitting back up again.
[Answer: Good Job. It seems you already figured out how to stand on your two legs, so just do what you did before]
Doing what the voice said, I was able to get back on my feet, but now is the scary part of trying to walk, “Okay...Now what?”
[Answer: Lift your right leg off the ground, but make sure it doesn’t go above half your left leg. And then place your right foot in front of you, but don’t place it too far. Then you do the same thing for your left leg. To help with balance, when you’re moving your legs, swing the opposite arm with similar speeds to your leg. Do all this quick, every step shouldn’t take more than 1 second]
Both scared and hesitant, I was worried I would get everything wrong and fall on my back again, “Okay...That’s pretty complicated, but I’ll try.”
Before lifting my right leg, I tried to find the perfect position to place my foot. I didn’t want to mess up and fall again, so I had to be extra careful. After finding a nice spot, I lift my right leg and did exactly what the voice told me, but as I placed my right foot on the floor, and as I was about to turn around and see far I was, the area between my legs and the bottom of the top part of both legs started to burn. I didn’t know why, but all I did know was that I couldn’t take it anymore, but I didn’t know what to do, and before I could ask the voice, the bottom of my legs hit the floor causing me pain that was almost as bad as when the voice was connecting itself to my brain, but still, this was a close second, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
I fell down on the side of my head, in pain. “What did I do?”
[Answer: You did the Splits]
“I did everything you told me, so why did it hurt so bad?”
[Answer: You place your foot too far away. You need to make that distance shorter]
“Okay, but first tell me how to move my body from my side to my back”
[Answer: Place your arms above you, and then like before pull yourself in the direction you want]
Doing that, I was able to get on my back, and like before get back on my feet, ready to make another attempt to walk.
So, last time I stepped too far, so this time the position of where my foot should be placed is clear.
Lifting my foot, I took the first step, “Voice, d, did I do it?”
[Answer: Yes. Now, try to use your left foot to take the next step. Also, try to place your foot farther than just 2 inches away from you]
“NO WAY, I’m not ready for advance walking” I really wasn’t, if I tried to what the voice was telling me, I would fall again. First I need to complete using my left foot for walking.
Looking back at my left foot, I lift it up and slowly moved it in front of my right foot, very slowly placed it on the ground. Looking around, I saw that nothing was wrong, everything was fine. “Voice, did I do it?”
[Answer: Yes]
“COOL!!!”
Okay, now I just need to practice. Let’s keep walking, also I should practice swinging my arms.
“Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, OW”
Hitting my head on something, I fell back down to my lovely but hard floor. “Dammit, I fell back down on my”
[Answer: Ass]
“Is that what it’s called, alright, but what made me fall?”
[Answer: You hit a wall. You need to both walk and stay aware of your surroundings]
“Really, man why are there so many rules to walking?”
[Answer:]
“I don’t want an answer, let me just pick myself up. My angled jar is back there, but I have this table.”
[Answer: That Angled Jar of yours is not a Jar, It’s a Container known as an Ability Developer. Also, don’t use the table, try picking yourself up]
“What, how do I do that?”
[Answer: First, turn your body at an angle, then place the opposite arm on the ground, and then push yourself up. Also, as your going up, make sure your feet are flat so when you stand up again, you wouldn’t fall due to your terrible motor skills and balance]
“Alright, I think I get it.” Turning my body to the left, I then place my right arm on the ground next to the left side of my body. Pushing myself up, I felt myself losing some balance, and then I realize something, what do I do with my legs, should I move them. As I was in a weird upside-down U position, I moved my left leg forward so it was in front of my body, and with that, my body was now balanced allowing me to finish the steps of, “picking myself up”.
“Hah, Hah. Hey, voice, I did it, but I think you forgot to give me some important steps, like what to do with my legs.”
[Answer: No one’s perfect]
I think I’m starting to hate this voice. Whatever, it’s teaching me so
[Answer: I’m in your head, I can hear what your thinking]
...Oh
Ignoring that, looking at the table next to me, I saw some things I don’t recognize. It was some kind of thin sheet, I don’t know what it is, but it had letters or what looked like letters on it, so maybe it can tell me why I’m here. “Hey voice, what’s that?”
[Answer: That’s paper. If you want me, I can teach you to read and write]
“Na, I rather spend the day learning the advanced methods of walking. Alright voice, now teach me how to turn while walking.”
[Answer: Okay]
